Donald Trump indicated he is contemplating a significant decision regarding military action against Iran. Concurrently, tensions are escalating with the IRGC's actions in the Strait of Hormuz and maritime incidents reported in Oman. This situation is critical as it highlights the potential for conflict and the diplomatic engagement of Iran at the UN.

This is a big decision. Anything is possible." Meanwhile, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced targeting an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, and the UK Maritime Trade Operations reported two maritime incidents in the waters of Oman.
